1、2023 年 12 月大学英语四级考试真题答案与详解第 1 套审题思路：Part IWriting父母与子女的关系是一个老生常谈的话题，学生自己也会格外有感受、有话说。因此，关键是如何组织语言， 并把重点落脚到“ how”上面。假设承受我们一贯生疏的“三点式”来讲怎么做，固然无可厚非。不过，也可以换 一种思路，重点从子女如何做下笔，并分析缘由，使文章显得有理有据。考场上时间紧急，考生思维也易受局限， 不管从哪个角度写，确定要先列好提纲，理顺思路。高分范文：Communication Is the Best Gift for ParentsThe relationship between par
2、ents and children is an eternal and universal topic for mankind. Our relationship with parents might be different at different ages. And for young people at their 20s, I think it will depend more on what children do.The reason why I say so is that as we grow up, our parents who were our idols before

4、sult, young people should talk more with parents to share our feelings and to understand each other better.Everyone wants loving parents who are open and supportive. Only through frequent communication with them, can we establish such a harmonious relationship.全文翻译：沟通是给父母的最好的礼物 对人类而言，父母与子女的关系是一个永恒而又
5、一般的话题。我们与父母的关系可能在不同的年龄阶段有所不同。对二十几岁的年轻人来说，我认为与父母的关系更多取决于孩子怎么做。 我之所以这样说是由于随着我们长大， 曾经被我们视为偶像的父母渐渐老去，甚至落伍。不管他们怎么努力都无法追赶上我们的脚步，从而导致所谓的无形的代沟。因此，假设我们不能放慢自己的脚步，那我们与父母之间绝 对会产生犯难的沉默，现在这种现象并不罕见。所以，年轻人应当多与父母沟通，以共享我们的感受和更好地相互 理解。每个人都想拥有慈祥、开放、支持我们的父母。只有通过频繁的沟通沟通，我们才能与父母建立起这种和谐关的系。Section APart IIListening Compreh
